Closed Emplant MAC emulator card with 586DX IC

[witchdoctor75]

This listing is exactly what I purchased a few weeks ago on this thread, here on amibay.

It turned out a challenge for me to get it up and running on my a4000/060 with an eagle busboard: a combination of MAC ROM and PC BIOS hunting, together with the software in the floppies being possibly incompatible with the 060 and/or my MMU libraries and/or other incompatibilities (or equally possibly me missing some key aspect).

In two words I never managed to get this up and running and I have a very busy work and family life, and when I got dibs for a bridgeboard sold by the same reputable user of the forum here I decided to buy that one and sell the emplant. The bridgeboard worked perfectly well.

Since I never managed to run the emplant card it is sold untested but I totally trust the original owner as he has also done some great Amiga repair work for me, too (unrelated to this card).

All I want is to recover the money I spent on the emplant, so selling it for US $700 + shipping + 4% PayPal fees if you don't want to do f&f.

If I don't sell this card here within a week I will be selling it on other websites too as I do need this money and I want to increase my chances. Now for sale elsewhere too (sorry couldn't wait for a whole week).

I also wanted to add that I have a Fedex account that I can ship anywhere in the world fast at pretty low prices. DM me if you want me to give you a quote.

Sorry for the confusion... I meant "for sale", the card is available. Edited my original post accordingly.

Excuse me but can this board, as is, act as a PC bridgeboard ?

From my research the answer is yes and no

What I mean by "yes", is that it has hardware to support PC emulation (also it has hardware to support Mac emulation that the bridgeboard doesn't have).

What I mean by "no" is that as far as I know you cannot add an ISA card and have the PC simulator access it.

So advantage is that you have hardware assisted PC and Mac emulation, disadvantage is that you cannot use other ISA cards.

But please make sure you do your own research to see what fits your needs.

Do it works with a 2000 ?

 

[witchdoctor75]

It *should* and possibly you will have more luck than me with the a4000 and a 68060 processor, but I can guarantee nothing as I never managed to get this card working.

Also please see the original post that I have in the description where this card is described as functional as it might give you a better idea about it. Sorry I cannot help more than this...

It works with a2000, and it was primarily used in them.
